Couple of beauties there Sir.Oh man there are some great shots of some Great Knives being posted!
I actually took a picture!!!! although nothing too arty or showing any stunning background I am so sorry everyone
My carry of late - my awesome AC - LOVE that little guy to bits!!!
As well as my latest Vintage Sheffield Lambsfoot - not the long slender version by any means- the Knife has had next to no use but has not been stored all that fussily and has been exposed to its surroundings over the years, Features the classic Sheffield Jig work - I saw this and thought I better grab it! As you can see I will need to clean the Jigged Bone- that will be nice and easy!
H. Deakin Sheffield, I found a Deakin in Sheffield ( James Deakin ), but not with the initial of H.
Have a awesome day / night my friends
They say idle hands are the devils playground or some such….The temperature had dropped here, when I went out this morning, but it wasn't raining at least. I had some business to take care of, and then walked down to Charlie's cafe, where I found myself simultaneously speaking English, Arabic, and Italian (the dozen words I know of it), at one point
After polishing off a coffee, and a blackcurrant croissant, I went into town, where I needed to go to the bank, and had some other errands to run. I passed through the market, and bought some bread, noticing that the city centre's worst pub had put their Christmas decorations up early!They usually make a special effort at this time of year
I did some shopping, and managed to pick up one of the delicious chicken, bacon, and mushroom pies I had a couple of weeks backBy the lunchtime, the temperature had risen to the high 30's, but then the heaven's opened! I'm just drying out with a mug of hot soup
. Sounds like a fun day JackAt the beginning of last week, I ordered a spare Canon battery, for one of my cameras - £50!Since then, I've been struggling to get it delivered because Canon used a notoriously bad courier service. Since, presumably, the small battery could be posted through my letter-box, I didn't understand what the problem was
It finally arrived today...
. Loved this post. Good Morning Guardians
. Wow Harvey, this one is fire. Gorgeous Charlie lamb John.

Looks like the makings of a great Thanksgiving DwightStarted smoking before sunrise this morning and will smoke until after dark. Brisket, Turkey, Chickens and Boudin - getting ready for a crowd Thanksgiving day.
Cool-looking Lamb 
It's not the first time I've been unable to find anything about a Sheffield cutler Duncan, it doesn't happen often, but it gives an idea of just how many cutlers have worked in Sheffield. There are thousands of tang stamps, and most cutlers didn't even have a stamp. I'm glad you're still enjoying the AC my friend, that was a golden day we spent together, I cherish the memoryThanks for looking it up Jack- yes I too didn't find anything about the maker- man did I search for it before I purchased the Knife- a reason I bought it actually, one day I just may find a mention of a back yard/ small shop Cutler of this name!
My friend- that AC gets a lot of carry- I love it, its a gift from a great pal - I remember him walking away from me in the Train Station- I felt extreme sadness at that moment, you may have met him
when you look at the shape of the Lambsfoot Blade of my Deakin- it isn't what you Jack Sir describe as the true Lambsfoot Blade with Both sides parallel the Spine on this one takes a definite change of course - but as we know there are many different interpretations of such patterns.
You keep well my friend, I will ring you before we get to Christmas - I have missed our chats.
I'll look forward to hearing from you Duncan, it will be great to hear from you pal Fantastic pic SteveAfternoon Guardians !

Too late to make a waistcoat I'm afraid! 
Have a good day Guardians, and a great Thanksgiving Eve to our US members

Good morning Guardians, all's not well at Grumble Towers I'm afraid, I was up half the night messing around with my boiler, which is making so much racket, I've had to turn it off. I have a busy week too, and it's going to be difficult getting it repaired. Cold, wet, and miserable day here, and no heating. I have to go out soon, and it looks like I'm going to get soaked
Sorry to hear about your boiler, it seems to give you trouble once a year or so.
That stinks Jack, sorry to hear that. Lamb looks great however.Good morning Guardians, all's not well at Grumble Towers I'm afraid, I was up half the night messing around with my boiler, which is making so much racket, I've had to turn it off.

Wow, that looks fantastic John, proper steak and and proper cutlery.
